Manuel Gil Martinez, known as Pettie, was 34 when he vanished after leaving a December 11, 1993 party near 3rd Avenue and Piedmont in Phoenix. At about 9:00 p.m. he was seen leaving with another person in a white car and driving off. Over a month later, on January 23, 1994, the Mesa Police Department found that white car abandoned and unoccupied.

Manuel is described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing roughly 167 to 177 pounds, with a shaved head, brown hair, brown eyes, a brown mustache and beard. He was wearing a blue sleeveless tank top, blue jeans and a Dallas Cowboys cap. He had multiple distinctive tattoos, including a peacock on his upper arm, el crucifico on the left side of his neck, and flowers and the Virgin Mary on his chest.

What happened after he left the party and before the car was found remains unknown. Does anyone have information about Pettie, the night of December 11, 1993, or the white car found on January 23, 1994?
